Purged voter count data by ZIP (Postal) code from the Ohio Secretary of State's website (https://registrationreadiness.ohiosos.gov/#). Voting age population data is from the 2022 American Community Survey published by the US Census.

▶️ Total olympic medals per 1k $GDP per capita - Paris 2024 - represented in the Tukey's boxplot 🏅

@dataisbeautiful

Is the highest number, relative to $GDP per capita, best? Outliers marked as circles. Made in #LabPlot, an open-source data analysis and visualization software.

Edit: the problem is framed as a question.

Dug up their survey for it out of curiosity, you can find their original post here https://hexbear.net/post/2226865

EDIT: for some context on the problems this creates

> The science is clear that fast-growing chickens like the Ross 308 are doomed by their genetics. These have been engineered to grow so incredibly fast, and their bodies just cannot handle it.” > >Jackson said secret filming at broiler farms supplying big supermarkets has shown birds struggling to walk or collapsing under their own weight, or dying from heart failure, and dead birds were filmed lying among the flocks. > > [...] > > Andrew Knight, a professor of animal welfare and ethics at the University of Winchester, said: “With these really rapid growth rates, it can be difficult for the heart and circulatory system to keep up with the expanding body mass. A proportion of these animals suffer from heart failure. It’s also difficult for the bones, ligaments and tendons to keep up with the rapidly increasing body mass, meaning that a proportion of these birds become severely lame [inability to walk properly].”

And that quote only lists just some of the health problems they face. There's a ton of other problems too

Another study with the same goal of comparing the results from different research teams found similar disparities, though the graphs aren't quite as pretty.

As you reduce the amount of carbon emissions (the y axis) the methods to keep reducing carbon cost more (the x axis.)

This great graph came to my attention from this video from vlogbrothers. It also has some good explanations of what it means.

Note that carbon capture doesn't really make sense till you've exhausted all the other emission minimizing methods.

At the end of 2023, we ran a census on lemmy.ca. Analyzing the data took a little longer than I thought it would, but the results are now available!

To see the post, you can do one of:

• Use this link: https://lemmy.ca/post/15125231
  • On mobile, your app should open it in your home instance
  • On desktop, you can use the InstanceAssistant extension to redirect the post
• Open !main@lemmy.ca and see the pinned posts

I didn't do a regular crosspost in case there is an error in the results. This way I only need to fix one post instead of many.

Hope you enjoy :)

Apologies. This might not be the perfect community for the post.
